Policies have been implemented to deter migrants, crack down on humanitarian workers, and externalise border monitoring in remote territories. Men, women, and children who flee political violence, religious persecution, or poverty in their country and set off on journeys often lasting years may find themselves on dangerous routes where they face police brutality, gang rackets, confinement camps, barbed-wire fences, the rigours of the desert, and the perils of the sea. Many lose their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut what do we really know about the experience of these people, the hazards they encounter, repression they endure, and the assistance they receive? This is what Didier Fassin and Anne-Claire Defossez set out to uncover through the research they conducted at the border between Italy and France, in a region of the Alps that has become, since the mid-2010s, a privileged site of passage for people arriving in Europe from Afghanistan, Iran, the Maghreb, and sub-Saharan Africa. Over a period of five years, they collected their poignant stories, participated in the activities of a shelter, took part in mountain rescue operations, and interviewed politicians, policymakers, and law enforcement officers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir investigation reveals the ineffectiveness of the militarisation of the border and the dismay of the police who are aware of the futility of their mission; it attests to the solidarity and commitment of the volunteers; and it explores the form of life of exiles, which has become a defining feature of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis timely and well-researched book will be of great value to students and scholars in sociology, anthropology, politics, and geography, and to anyone interested in migration and refugees today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362565177580,"sku":"9781509568598","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12708233482725.jpg?v=1772893492"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/anne-claire-defossez.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
